A DOLL’S HOUSE & A DOLL’S HOUSE, PART 2

PERFORMED IN REPERTORY

For the first time ever performed in repertory, follow two acclaimed playwrights’ distinctive takes on one woman’s journey to self-discovery.

Henrik Ibsen’s renowned classic shattered the traditions of his time as his protagonist, Nora, walked out on her stark marital obligations. Decades later, Lucas Hnath brought her home (and to Broadway) to revisit her actions through a contemporary lens. One part searing drama, another part biting comedy, this is an experience best seen in full.

About A Doll’s House

Nora’s life is a picture-perfect portrait, complete with a doting husband, gleeful children and the small pleasures of her 1870s Norwegian home. But underneath her wide-eyed demeanor lies a deceit that she fears will tear her family apart. As the consequences stack up to reveal deeper flaws in her relationship, she slams the door on her marriage to assert her independence in this heart-wrenching and gripping production.

About A Doll’s House, Part 2

Fifteen years later, Nora’s unexpected return cuts through the subtext to confront her decisions head-on in this Tony-nominated, contemporary sequel. Asking for favors instead of forgiveness, the proudly independent woman demands help from the family she left behind. But as she hilariously roasts the society she has shunned, her husband and children get their long-awaited chance to stand their ground. “Smart, funny and utterly engrossing” (The New York Times), this piece snappily filters the still-prevalent pressures of motherhood and self-fulfillment through a modern perspective.

What Does “In Repertory” Mean?

“In repertory” (or “in rep” for short) means the two plays will be produced by the same company during the same time period on an alternating schedule. By seeing these shows in rep, audiences will experience a satisfying narrative and see how each play reflects on the other.

Do I Need To See A Doll’s House To Understand A Doll’s House, Part 2?

No. A Doll’s House, Part 2 is enjoyable even if you haven’t experienced (or don’t quite recall) the classic original. Like a movie sequel, if you’ve seen the first play, you will have a deeper understanding of Part 2¸ and we highly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity to experience them both. But it’s not required!
